Gross defects, probably. Marginal changes in sharpness, with this image, not in a million years.
The trees appear to be in a line closest to the camera on the right and furthest away on the left. Those in the middle are in focus, the rest are not, as I would expect at f4. The leaves are probably moving in the wind, adding to the impression of blurriness. The negative has also been scanned, adding even more defects into the mixture. ---- "P. J.
